I snorted, feeling uncomfortable. I always did when people talked about my looks. “Says you.”
“So you’re not young?”
“I’m smart but not beautiful. I guess I’m a little above average.”
Sadie chuckled. “You’re fucking kidding, right?”
“Not at all.”
“Do you know how many guys wanted to date you at school?”
“I can’t imagine since I haven’t had a date in months.”
She continued. “Plenty.”
“Then why didn’t they ask?”
“You would have to ask them.”
I was curious about the droves of men who wanted to ask me out because none seemed interested.
“Like who?”
“Rick Chalian. He had a big case of the likes.”
Rick was my lab partner in one of my business classes. Nothing told me that he wanted anything but a platonic relationship.
“He never acted on it. I think you’re wrong.”
“Believe what you want.”
My cell began to ring. I hurried to retrieve it before it woke up Ty and saw it was Matt calling.
“Hi. Not working today?”
“I just got finished. What are you doing?”
“Nothing really. Ty is here with me and Sadie. He’s sleeping.”
“He should get a job that doesn’t keep him out until all hours of the night.”
I laughed. “Shut up, Matt. You work fifteen-hour days. You’re not one to talk.”
“I need you to take care of Blackie.”
Blackie was my brother’s French Bulldog and I loved that little dog besides, being at Matt’s luxury apartment was like a spa day.
“For how long?”
“Until Wednesday. I have a client in Dallas I need to see.”
“Can I bring Sadie?”
“Yeah, I expected you to with your nightma…”
Matt stopped talking and I waited for him to continue. When he didn’t, I finished his sentence.
“Nightmares. I don’t have them as much. Can we order food?” I asked, changing the subject.
